I wasn't trying to signal you out directly just happened to quote you to ask a generalization question. It just seems like it a lock that both Elton and Kanye will headline because they are both headlining Bonnaroo.

Also when Macca headlined both last year it was in his contract to do so. I assume if Elton or Kanye would be headlining both wouldn't it have been done the same way and someone leak it by now? I feel like we knew Macca was going to headline pretty early on.

I'll go crazy trying to sit here and figure out any more of the undercard.

That line up looks pretty awesome.... now, hopefully when the line up comes out it has a large portion of the artists listed. Plus, i would LOVE to be in the room while the Tiesto and Kanye reps battle out for closing out the main stage, assuming they are booked on the same day. (hypothetical)

Huh? It would be very easy for a band to play both festivals and would actually make them more likey since they will be on this side of the continent. I'm sure Squamish and band management would work out the schedule for them to play both fests if they really wanted to.

All good, I was just being dry. People are just likening Elton and Kanye because they are two of the only large artists headlining other fests this year, who have not done OSL.

Also, I live extremely close the Concord Pavillion where Lionel Richie is playing in June... and I go to Outside Lands every year. If I wanted to see Lionel Richie, I could just go across the street. Also people from SF would definitely travel an extra 45 minutes to see him so I don't think he'll be on the lineup.

Who else would you add on there (other than what you stated above)? I just tossed Lionel on to fulfill the old timer spot, not sure he'd even be top line.

Re: Outside Lands 2014

Jack Johnson, Black Eyed Peas, DMB, Kings of Leon, and other mainstream bands have played OSL. The Killers fit into that category along with Coldplay...

Yeah, but it's not 2009/2010 anymore.

The Killers have been everywhere since Battle Born came out including NSSN, Life is Beautiful (APE run), two nights at Bill Graham, and a slot at Bridge School (which they later cancelled). Coldplay have only played the Bay Area twice since 2008 and have headlined basically every major festival in America except Outside Lands.

Re: Outside Lands 2014

RHCP and NIN headlined last year. I'd argue that the Killers will always be as relevant as them, "Shot at the Night" was a pretty big song and they released their greatest hits late last year. If OSL pulls some mix of Bruce, Kanye, Elton, or Prince, I'd expect the third headliner to be a little more low budget.

Anyone have input on the possibility of Clapton, the Allman Brothers or perhaps the Black Crowes? Tedeschi Trucks and Jackie Greene have openings to support the aforementioned.
